Chariot Performance Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Say what you want about unions... But if it wasn't for them we'd be all working for minimum wage, employers would walk all over there employees,, all the rules and regulations that keep us safe in the work place unions played a big part in putting them in place, be like working In a third world country, Non-unionized places compete with the unionized work force as far as wages so In a way they set the wages for everyone.... But hey it's just my opinion, I Was on strike for a full year, our wages are still below average, the company is turning in record profits, 3 employees have died on the job in the last year. When you work in an industry that can potentialy take your life/serious injury on the job you want the employer to take care of the hurt employee. Well we wouldn't need unions if employers took care of there employees, especially when we put our life's on the line for them.... Can point the finger at the union workers for being greedy, but who are the ones with fancy houses, nice cars, and no financial stress?? Owners, CEO's, Boss'...... Just my opinion everyone has there own True True True Some or even a lot unions may be corrupt but that is a different issue then do we need them. We most definitely need them because the greedy heartless entities called "employer" proves over and over that employees are less than human. Government does not create a safe and fair work environment and employers do not either so some organization must exist to do so. Without unions the security of most all individuals paychecks would be minimal or null and void. Without this security people hoard their money and don't spend. Without spending the economy halts and our way of life stops. Simple economics proves the necessity of unions. If the onsite death rate of ruthless greedy corporations was not enough!
